Using awk to transpose column to row

I have an input data file:

anim   gent
FZ543     1
FZ543     2
FZ543     3
FZ543     1
FZ547     4
FZ547     3
FZ547     3
FZ547     1

I wanted to transpose these data to:-

anim     gent
FZ543     1 2 3 1
FZ547     4 3 3 1

In other words, I wanted to transpose elements from vertical to horizontal. I can used AWK Comand

Thanks for your atention.
